Giuseppe Tirelli, 1957 | Figurative sculptor

Giuseppe Tirelli was born in Tanzania and now lives and works in Piacenza, where he attended the Art Institute "Gazzola" in the late '80s. He began his personal artistic journey by fusing together classical sculpture with a contemporary, futuristic and cibernetic atmosphere. The great art critic Edward Lucie-Smith has placed Tirelli amongst the artists of "Neofigurative Italian sculpture".

Tirelli collaborates with major galleries and in recent years his work is appreciated not only in Italy but also internationally: many of his works have been bought by collectors who live in India, Brazil, USA, Russia and Australia.

Two of his works have been purchased respectively by the Museum of Modern Art Gallery Ricci Oddi Piacenza and by the Museum Mim in the Castle of San Pietro in Cerro.
